Splendid service from ups

I got a call from an ups driver this morning, wanting to deliver a box of beer at my apartment. I explained that I was at work, and and that there are no neighbors around to sign for it. I could have had it redirected and delivered at my office, but that would mean a Monday delivery, when I am off.

No problem, said the driver. There is a company a few streets from where you live. They are open until four. Why don’t I drop it off there, and you can pick it up on you way home?

The beers come from Biershop Bayern, sent on Tuesday.

I have yet to find out what the taxman has to say about the transaction.

I had ordered from them before with delivery in Germany, so they agreed to give it a try. If you check their webside now, you’ll find the rates for Norway. Still no sign of any bill for VAT or duty, so that was a welcome bonus.
